Review from Catherine (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been in Westwood Lodge Care Centre since May this year. She cannot move unaided, cannot speak or communicate in any way and her feeding and medication are by means of a peg. The care she receives from everyone is wonderful. All the staff whatever their role are kind, considerate and treat
her with gentleness and respect and try their very best to maintain her dignity. There is a lovely friendly atmosphere which has been commented on by everyone who has visited mum with me. The kindness and support they have shown to me as her relative has been beyond praise and it is appreciated so much. They have given me peace of mind knowing that she is so well looked after and I cannot thank them enough.

Review from Imelda N (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been in the care of these lovely people for two weeks. She is a high risk of falls and has difficulty communicating. The staff work extremely hard and nothing is too much trouble for them. I feel confident in the care and safety of my mother here. I have observed the responses from the
residents and staff and they are all treated with dignity and respect. They are asked if they are comfortable. The activities provided are enjoyed by all those capable of participating and are entertaining and variable.

Review from Eileen M (Wife of Resident) published on 25 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my husbands admission to Westwood Lodge he has been treated with dignity and respect. He has brain damage and is bed bound and is unable to do anything for himself. He is unable to communicate so staff need to anticipate all his requirements, which they do very well. He is incontinent both ways,
so has a cathater and wears pads. As he is bedbound he can be prone to bed sores, so they have to turn him on a regular basis, as he is unable to do this himself. He cannot feed himself and due to swallowing problems has to have pureed food and thickened drinks. He has outbursts of abuse, which is all part of his brain damage, the staff understand this and are always very patient. Wonderful place.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.360)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.360) out of 10 for Westwood Lodge Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.360 for Westwood Lodge Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 197 Ratings = 4.36
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westwood Lodge Care Centre is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
